New Year's Meditation
Dear Lord, as I close the door on this old year
I ponder on the things I've done;
On the things I've said and the joys I've had
Then I wonder, have I lost or won?
I've thought of the new friends I've made
And the old ones, staunch and true;
The path of the old year was made easier, Lord
Because I walked it with You.
I think of all the many times
When my burdens were so heavy to bear;
And how my faith slipped away from me,
But somehow, You were always standing there.
Now as I open the door to this New Year
And carefully peep inside;
I wonder what it holds for me?
But I'll throw the door open wide.
And whatever it brings to me and mine
I'll meet with a heart so true;
I know that, Lord, whate'er it may be
You'll be there to carry me through.
